What's the service fee for a MacBook...?

[dayneoram]

The bottom of my MacBook (Late 2009 Unibody) is peeling off, and my warranty has expired. If I book a Genius appointment, can I pay for them to replace it there and then? If so, how much will it cost me? Thanks!

It'll be free.

Even though my warranty has expired? Are you sure?!

It's a known fault see http://www.apple.com/support/macbook-bottomcase/.

If it is quiet they may do it then, but there's a good chance you will have to hand it in for a day or two. Do a backup before you head off.
